Something is wrong!

Chen Cuo took a deep breath and suppressed his uneasiness and surprise.

He cautiously took a half-step closer, then looked intently at the mask.

On the face, the blue-faced fangs are outlined with lines, although there are many discrepancies, but you can vaguely see the face of the evil ghost!

It's just that compared to the hideous face of the evil ghost, this face is a little more exaggerated and a little less ferocious, but it still can't help but remind Chen Cuo of the horror of the evil ghost!

"I don't remember receiving anything like this!"

Chen Cuo shuddered at first, and even after seeing the appearance of the face clearly, he quickly stepped back a few times, but after noticing that the face was only suspended in the air, and there was no other change, his fear in his heart decreased slightly, and he recalled carefully, and suddenly remembered a little detail.

"When the evil ghost pounced, I touched the gourd with my hand, and raised my arm to block the ghost, at that time, there was a ray ......of light, I thought that or Zhou Daochang had arranged, but the Taoist did not mention it, could it be the gourd spontaneous protector?

Thinking about this possibility, Chen Cuo tried to sort out his thoughts, but there were many difficulties.

"Originally, the gourd could only absorb things that were broken within an hour, so the evil ghost could not be considered broken? Or is it because the evil ghost and my mind are connected, so there is such a change?"

Thinking about it, he shook his head suddenly.

"This matter is too dangerous, I shouldn't think about it, this thing is even weirder, I must not touch it with my hands......"

wanted to think so, but then he couldn't help but take a step, close to the face, and muttered: "I'm just close, I don't touch ......"

As the distance got closer, Chen Cuo vaguely heard many whispers again, as if there were countless people talking at the same time.

It's just that the sound is low and the volume is low, so I can't really hear it, and it's not clear.

Slowly, while silently chanting "don't be cheap", he couldn't help but raise his arm, and a brush appeared from nothing, and he leaned towards the face.

"I'm not using my hands. ”

He muttered quietly, but at the moment when the brush was about to touch his face, a cold air came instantly, and Chen Cuo was cold to the bone, and he felt even more inappropriate in his heart, so he hurriedly withdrew the brush.

The chill dissipated.

"This thing...... It's really weird and weird!"

Looking at the face that was still suspended, Chen Cuo's brows were tightened, his expression became solemn, and he didn't tease it again.

"Ask the Daoist, but this involves Mengze. The problem is that this matter can be big or small, in case it endangers his life, or even makes Meng Ze restless......"

He was thinking about it, when suddenly his mind was in a trance, and he immediately understood the reason.

——————

In the present world, Chen Cuo opened his eyes.

Chen Hai stood on one side, and it was this Hou Mansion steward who woke him up just now.

"Mother hasn't come yet, isn't she going to ask me?" Chen Cuo looked left and right, but didn't see anyone else.

Chen Hai said: "Mr. Zhou suddenly wanted to say goodbye and leave, saying that he was leaving for a few days, and his wife couldn't keep it, so where could he still talk to the prince." Then he took a few steps closer, "However, although the Taoist chief was leaving, he said that he still had something to say to the prince, so the old lady ordered the villain to come." ”

"I'll go over here. Chen Cuo was not only not surprised, but breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Chen Hai straight to the front yard.

When I got to the place, I heard Zhou Youzi talking to the old lady from a distance-

"The prince has a small hope, and now the elixir does not exist, but it is enough to raise the ink crane, please ask the old lady to hand over the ink crane to the prince, and it is good to have this fate. ”

Chen's mother was full of hesitation.

According to her heart, she should be inclined to her eldest son, but the pill and the ink crane were given by Zhou Youzi, which involved the fate of Xianmen, and now the other party directly proposed it, it was not good to refuse in person, and it was a stalemate for a while.

Zhou Youzi said again: "This matter is fate, Cheng, it is the prince and the immortal family have a fate, if it is not, it is the precursor of the county king, and the poor road is leaving this time, and he will return in a few days, and he will contact the master halfway, or he can use this as an excuse to seek another immortal fate for your mansion." ”

Having said that, even if Mother Chen was still a little unwilling, she could only nod for the time being.

Chen Cuo breathed a sigh of relief, and his perception of Zhou Youzi was a little better.

Zhou Youzi also breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately relented.

Next, Chen's mother didn't delay, in order to reassure Zhou Youzi, she immediately asked someone to take the box containing the ink crane over, let Chen Hai take it first, and told Chen Cuo: "If it's not available, don't force it, understand?"

Chen Cuo nodded yes, looking at the box, his heart was eager to try.

Zhou Youzi suddenly asked, "Where are the three ladies?"

Chen's mother said: "There are many things today, so I didn't let her come over, and Mr. wants to say goodbye to her?"

Zhou Youzi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need." Then he said goodbye, but when he left, he glanced at Chen Cuo.

Chen Cuo understood and said to Chen's mother: "The child is going to give Mr. a ride." ”

"It should. Seeing the appearance of the two, Chen's mother became more and more suspicious.

After leaving the palace, Chen Cuo and Zhou Youzi wandered the streets to ask about the disappearance of the servants.

Zhou Youzi said: "Poor Dao found some clues in the house, and cast a spell to investigate, and he was already able to determine that it should be done by evil ghosts." ”

Chen Cuo asked, "Why did the evil ghost kidnap this person?"

Zhou Youzi said: "The evil ghost was injured by the wisdom sword, and he was injured a lot, and he was in a hurry to recover, and the person who was bewitched by it had a ghost in his heart, and he could use it for the ghost to recover." ”

Chen Cuo nodded, and asked again, "Where were the people taken?"

Zhou Youzi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "The poor road is limited, but I don't know this, so I should also consult my colleagues when I go." ”

When Chen Cuo heard this, he couldn't help but worry, and when he thought of the grimace in the dream, he hesitated for a while.

Zhou Youzi saw his appearance, and said: "Evil ghosts gather for people's thoughts, reflect people's hearts, people who have read the article have the possibility of derivation, it is both latent and take people, I think it is necessary to accumulate strength first, and wait for more and more people who are familiar with and immersed in the article, before they can really make a move, the prince is really the source, and it is also the foundation of evil ghosts, you must not have doubts, otherwise you will be taken advantage of by ghosts." ”

"Isn't this the more widely circulated the article, the more my life is in danger?" Chen Cuo's tone was heavy. He had already guessed, and now he finally confirmed that the problem is that it is almost impossible to stop the article from spreading.

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, the prince doesn't have to worry too much, now inside and outside Jiankang, there are also many masters, will not let the evil ghosts run rampant, so it must not dare to publicize, if the prince is really worried, in recent days, you might as well find a Buddhist temple to live temporarily," Zhou Youzi said, taking out a bag from his arms, "This records the method of controlling the ink crane, the prince can quickly learn it, the ink crane can listen to the mystery, if the evil ghost comes, it can warn you." ”

Chen Cuo's mouth was dry, he took the bag, and finally said: "I was tired just now, so I took a nap for a while......

Zhou Youzi interrupted: "Do you feel something?"

"Huh?" Chen was stunned.

"It's nothing," Zhou Youzi shook his head and asked a little eagerly, "But what you got in a dream?"

Chen Cuo said: "I saw a ghost-faced face in my dream, like an evil ghost, can the Taoist know its meaning?"

Zhou Youzi's face changed suddenly, and then his brows tightened, and his face showed a contemplative expression.

When Chen Cuo saw it, he couldn't help but ask again.

Zhou Youzi shook his head and said, "It's hard to say at the moment, but it shouldn't be a bad thing." ”

Chen Cuo's spirits perked up and asked why.

Zhou Youzi shook his head and didn't say anything, and was asked anxiously, so he said: "Poor Dao's knowledge is limited, and it still needs to be confirmed, so you can't talk about it, but before the prince has practiced, if you dream of face makeup again, it's best not to touch it in your dreams." ”

After asking a few more words, Chen Cuo saw that Zhou Youzi really refused to say, and finally gave up, hugged his fists and said goodbye: "I hope that Dao Chang, go early and return early." ”

Zhou Youzi nodded, and saw that the fear on Chen Cuo's face had faded, so he turned around and took a step, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then sped up his pace, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the corner of the street in the distance, followed another step, and disappeared.

Sending Zhou Youzi away, Chen Cuo returned to the palace and briefly said a few words to Chen's mother, who repeatedly hinted at and reminded Chen Cuo not to compete with his brother for opportunities.

After a few perfunctory words, Chen Cuo was finally able to go home.

"Being watched by evil ghosts, how can you not worry?" On the ox cart, he touched the box containing the ink crane, "Originally, the pill entered Mengze, and the ink crane was in his hand again, it should be double happy, but when I encountered this incident, it was a blessing and a curse, how to deal with it, I was at a loss, then again, the Taoist chief was a Taoist priest, but he asked me to go to the temple to live temporarily, why didn't he let me go to the Taoist temple?"

Thinking about it, his eyes wandered, looking at the scene along the street, his mind turned sharply, but his eyes widened, staring intently out of the window.

Outside the window, on the corner of the street, on the side of the gutter.

There was an old beggar dressed in tatters, sitting cross-legged on the ground, grinning at Chen Cuo.
